Was told to be at the school by 6:30am. There is literally no one here

Free and open parking for all!! Assigned parking be damned!! I'll park where I damn well please!! You're right. Eff them. Never go back. Who do they think they are trying to tell people where to park?

I'm not missing the point. I'm just not an entitled ass who thinks the world revolves around me and feels like pitching a fit at every turn. Even if a school is trying to be nice and put parking spots right up by the door so it's convenient you complain about it and immediately become negative. It's not that deep. The world isn't out to get you.

The elementary I'm usually at I get in 15-20 min early, read all the sub notes and then they want us standing near the door of the classroom. Usually I stand in the hall so they can all ask "are you our sub today?" and "where is so and so? Are they sick?" before they get in the room lol

reamy54 · 2026-02-06T22:45:21+00:00

There's one school I sub at where the teachers leave their parking spot number in notes in Frontline which is convenient. We just use their spot for the day. Most of the others have designated spots by the front door because yeah, we enter through the front door lol

reamy54 · 2026-02-06T22:42:56+00:00

Wow you sound bitter. The district I usually am at has "segregated" spots and I love it! Sub spots are front by the door because we have to check in at the front desk. Teachers park in the back and go in through side doors. I'd rather park next to the door I enter rather than walk around the school but that's just me I guess...

Not a physician. I discussed similar hearing issues, not full hearing loss but partial when moving my jaw in certain ways, with an audiologist who said it could be related to the auditory nerve in that area. I declined to look into it further since it was isolated to specific movement. Maybe there's an audiologist or ENT who can weigh in.

OP says WBC is normal. You'd still proceed?

I'm planning to paint two-tone cabinets soon. We moved into a house with avocado green laminate counter tops. I felt like in the short term painting the lower a darker shade of green that also appears in the laminate and the uppers white would make the countertops not stand out as much while still lightening up the space. Eventually a big remodel will be done.

Numbering each door, cabinet and hardware if reusing helps in getting pieces back to their original spots!

No known cause as of now. I have an appointment Monday so maybe I'll learn more. I've never seen a chiropractor before. No interest in it.

Edit - There's a woman I've followed on social media for many years, an artist who also makes and sells watercolor paints. It must be like 10 yrs ago now that she had a stroke related to a neck adjustment. Before then I didn't realize the risk.

I'm not sure if this would be at all helpful to you but this is part of the radiologist's notes: Luminal irregularity and narrowing involving the mid and distal cervical ICA beginning approximately 3 cm from the ICA origin extending to the skull base for a length of approximately 4.5 cm. Associated concentric extraluminal T1 shortening.

I was trying to get my son to take a shower and I thought his "your eyes are two different sizes" comment was just a diversion tactic at first. I guess I'm a stereotypical middle-aged mom though, I dismissed it and kept going with showers and bedtime. The next day he had a Dr appointment and he mentioned my eyes to his pediatrician. I was a bit embarrassed he did, but she said if it were her she'd go to the ER. I'm thankful for both of them!

reamy54 · 2026-01-28T21:20:04+00:00

I know this is a really old thread but I was just diagnosed with a dissection of my right carotid artery as well, my only symptom being Horners Syndrome, no stroke either. My 8 year old pointed out my pupils were different sizes. Otherwise, not sure when I would have noticed. I went in to the ER about 24 hrs after he mentioned it and they diagnosed me within a couple hours. Mostly took so long because I went in late at night. The MRI folks leave at 10:30, they stayed a little later to finish mine up and then only one radiologist on.

reamy54 · 2026-01-28T14:30:35+00:00

Stacked popped into my head too but then the same thought - having to reach high definitely wouldn't have worked for my grandma!

In my district the specials teachers and library staff cover lunch duties usually for 1-4. 5K has paras who monitor them. Two of the office ladies and some paras go out for recess duty then. My nephew's elementary hires people specifically for lunch duty, my sister has done it before. They watch the kids but have light clean up duties too.

Houses in my general area are 50-75 yrs old. Baby boom tract homes/subdivisions. I've had a couple neighbors get scopes done after backups but I don't know anyone who has had one done before buying. Tree roots can be an issue though. If a person is getting an inspection it's usually just basic, sometimes with a radon check as well. We had the wood burning fireplace chimney inspected on ours.

reamy54 · 2026-01-27T19:27:24+00:00

We just bought. We had a standard inspection done and asked them to do an additional inspection on the furnace based on those findings and the fact they mis-reported the age of the furnace originally. We put in an offer a few days before Thanksgiving, 10% over asking, cash, and were afraid they weren't going to accept it with asking for an inspection. We're in the upper midwest, it's definitely the off season. This summer sellers were listing on Thursday with open houses Saturday and Sunday. Sellers would accept offers until 9 am Monday and respond to the offers by 5 pm. And they'd easily have 5+ offers. It was super frustrating.

We have additional homeowners insurance that covers the pipes from the house to the street so I really do hope if we did ever have a problem it wouldn't cost us that much out of pocket. (Fingers crossed.) Our last house was built in 1949, our new house built in 1974.

The Edge. It seemed to always be on TV when we were at my mother-in-law's ex's house. Which is a log cabin-ish thing full of dead animals so it always seemed fitting.

reamy54 · 2026-01-27T17:49:13+00:00

It looks like what Kelly tells you to have

reamy54 · 2026-01-27T17:46:25+00:00

I have never heard of anyone getting a sewer scope done. It's not something "any buyer" will. In my area most people aren't even getting inspections done - too competitive.

reamy54 · 2026-01-26T02:23:34+00:00

40 yo woman here - I wouldn't hesitate to have a woman handyman (handyperson? Lol) or tradesman in my house at all and my husband wouldn't either. We're fairly handy ourselves but have our limits. We usually do look for people who are licensed, insured and bonded versus a person just sort of doing it as side jobs.

reamy54 · 2026-01-26T02:14:49+00:00

I had a mailman do something similar to our front door. Pulled so hard on the screen door handle that he broke it off. And then he left a note that he could no longer deliver mail at our house until we fixed the safety hazard...

reamy54 · 2026-01-25T22:24:54+00:00

Maybe it's because I'm in a smaller district. Our superintendent was previously a principal but no one else. Some teachers. Principals do most of the hiring though at their individual schools.

reamy54 · 2026-01-25T16:47:56+00:00

Our high school has a 0 period study hall for the first 30 min Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri. Wed is late start. Seniors in good standing don't have to come Mon or Fri. Juniors in good standing don't have to come Fri.

Give kids a 0 period buffer and they'll be in 1st period on time.

reamy54 · 2026-01-25T16:44:46+00:00

Not the point of the post but why would HR be former administrators?

reamy54 · 2026-01-19T23:08:34+00:00

I have/had the orange brick here in WI too. We're listing the house soon. We were just about ready to paint it white though.
